  Hi Muhammad, you should get an LLC  instead of a DBA. To Set Up Permits, you will need to obtain the licensing required for Jewelry.



You can obtain them on our site as  well as obtain all the licensing you need to run your  General Merchandise  store.



  That said, General Merchandise is subject to sales tax when sold. Thus, a wholesale General Merchandise  seller will charge you sales tax unless you hold a seller's permit that enables you to buy the items wholesale.



For example, if you buy  General Merchandise   worth $100, you will be subject to you will be subject to 6.25% sales tax, so you will pay $106.25.  The Massachusetts sales tax is 6.25% of the sales price or rental charge on tangible personal property, including certain telecommunication services sold or rented in Massachusetts. Sales tax is generally collected by the seller.  



Sales tax is a tax paid to a government (state or local) and it is collected for the sale of certain goods and services.



Regardless, as a business, you will need to register the business name  "BUK," with a DBA, LLC or corporation.



Furthermore, all businesses need to obtain a business license.  Finally, hiring workers requires a withholding tax registration with a federal EIN and a State EIN.


     


Do you need a seller's permit if you already have an LLC already have an EIN already and LLC i need to know what kind of licenses and permits I need to operate a general merchandise business. I'm just doing a research now do you need a permit from the FDA?  
    Answer:General Merchandise need the seller's permit to buy the General Merchandise  materials wholesale.



For example, if you want to buy the General Merchandise tax-free (i.e., wholesale), you will need a resale certificate that, incidentally, is part of the seller's permit. It is a certificate that certifies that you hold a sales tax ID A.K.A. seller's permit.



  

Also, note that you will need to register your business name:

  "Drifting Cowgirl Clothing  " must be registered with a DBA, LLC or corporation and also need an EIN. You will need the certificate so you can create stationary, cards, and advertise with your trade name.  I need to know the requirements to start a food truck in Georgia? Hi, I want to open a food truck.



  I need the seller's permit. What procedure should I follow CURRENTLY I AM AN EMPLOYEE AT SCHOOL.DO I HAVE EIN? I already have EIN & Business License I have all that. Except a business license Preferably a home improvement contractor license, do I need a GC/BC license to obtain a home improvement license? We need to get a seller's permit for a food truck.



How do we do this? We have an LLC What other steps do we need to take? We will be selling BBQ in the parking lot of a local brewery REQUIRED LICENSES Legal Structure

Also, note that whatever item that you sell or lease, and it is an item that can be touched (i.e., tangible items such as equipment, toys, merchandise, electronics, prepared food) requires a state sales tax ID (Sellers Permit) to either buy or sell the items or products wholesale and/or sell them in retail. If you are hiring workers anytime soon, you will need a Federal EIN and a State EIN(employer identification number). Other instances where you will need a federal tax ID are: if you are a partnership, an independent contractor, and a corporation or an LLC.

Alright, so you’re looking to dive into the world of selling various products? That’s fantastic! The market is vast and there's room for all kinds of sellers. Let’s break it down so you can get started without the legal mumbo-jumbo bogging you down. Ready? Let's go!


Setting Up an LLC



Forming an LLC (Limited Liability Company) is like giving your business a protective bubble. It separates your personal assets from your business assets, which is super important if things don’t go as planned.

**Reasons to Form an LLC:**
- **Liability Protection:** Keeps your personal assets safe if your business hits a bump.
- **Tax Benefits:** Offers flexibility in how you’re taxed.
- **Professionalism:** Makes your business look legit and trustworthy.

Getting a Seller’s Permit



If you're selling physical goods, you'll need a seller’s permit. This permit allows you to collect sales tax from your customers, which keeps you in good standing with the tax folks.

Business Licenses and Special Permits



To keep everything above board, you’ll need:
- **General Business License:** Required to legally operate your business.
- **Seller’s Permit:** Necessary for collecting sales tax on those awesome products you’re selling.

Do You Need to Register Your Business Name?



Yes, indeed! Registering your business name, also known as a DBA (Doing Business As), is crucial. It ensures that your unique business name is officially yours, preventing others from using it.

EIN - What's That?



An EIN (Employer Identification Number) is like a social security number for your business. You need it for:
- **Opening a business bank account**
- **Filing taxes**
- **Hiring employees**

Think of it as your business’s official ID card for all things tax-related.

LLC vs. S Corp



Choosing between an LLC and an S Corp depends on your business goals:
- **LLC:** Great for simplicity and flexibility.
- **S Corp:** Can offer tax benefits if your business is making significant profits but comes with more regulations.

Summing It All Up



To sum it up:
- **Form an LLC** to protect your personal assets and gain flexibility.
- **Get a seller’s permit** to legally collect sales tax.
- **Secure the necessary licenses** to operate your business.
- **Register your business name** to ensure it’s uniquely yours.
- **Obtain an EIN** for tax and banking purposes.
  
     
Here's a breakdown of setting up an LLC and obtaining necessary permits for your "Sell Various Products" business, with some industry insights, humor, and practical details:

Industry Snapshot (with a Dash of Humor)

The retail industry is a vast ocean of opportunity, with global retail sales projected to reach $30 trillion by 2024. That's a lot of products being shuffled around! Just imagine, if you sold $1 worth of products every second, it would take you about 951,293 years to hit that number. Better get started now! Capital needed to start: $2,000 - $50,000 (depending on inventory and location) Equipment: Computer, point-of-sale system, shelving, and a really comfy chair for those long inventory nights

Business Structure: LLC or S Corp?

For your "Sell Various Products" business, forming an LLC (Limited Liability Company) is often a smart choice. Here's why:
  • Personal asset protection

  • Flexible tax options

  • Less paperwork than corporations

  • Easier to manage for small businesses
    • An S Corp can be beneficial for larger operations or if you plan to have multiple shareholders. However, for most small retail businesses, an LLC provides sufficient benefits with less complexity.

    EIN: Your Business's Social Security Number

    An EIN (Employer Identification Number) is a unique 9-digit number assigned to your business. Think of it as your business's Social Security Number, but hopefully with less identity theft drama. You'll need an EIN for:
  • Opening business bank accounts

  • Filing tax returns

  • Hiring employees

  • Establishing business credit

    • Seller's Permit: Your Ticket to the Retail Party

    Yes, you'll need a Seller's Permit to legally sell products. This permit allows you to collect sales tax from customers and remit it to the appropriate authorities. Without it, you might find yourself in a less-than-pleasant conversation with tax officials, and trust me, they rarely appreciate retail therapy as an excuse.

    Business Name Registration

    Registering your business name is crucial. It prevents others from using your brilliant, pun-filled store name and helps customers find you. Options include:
  • DBA (Doing Business As) registration

  • Trademark registration for broader protection
    • Remember, "The Lawn Ranger" might be clever for your garden supply store, but it's less effective if someone else is already using it.

    Additional Permits and Licenses

    Depending on your specific products and location, you might need:
  • General Business License

  • Health Department Permits (for food items)

  • Zoning Permits

  • Signage Permits
    • The exact requirements can vary, so it's best to check with local authorities or a business attorney to ensure you're fully compliant. After all, the only surprise you want in retail is finding out that hideous sweater you couldn't sell is suddenly this season's must-have item.

    Start-Up Capital & Equipment



    Before you start selling, let's talk about the basics you’ll need:

    - **Initial Capital:** Plan for $1,000 to $10,000 depending on your product range and scale.
    - **Equipment Needed:**
      - **Computer/Laptop:** Your business command center.
      - **Reliable Internet Connection:** A must for managing your online store.
      - **Inventory Storage:** Could be a spare room, garage, or a small warehouse.
      - **Shipping Supplies:** Boxes, bubble wrap, tape, and labels.
      - **Label Printer:** To make shipping a breeze.
    ✔ Biz Structure

    You can choose to be a(n) Sell Various Products :

    • Sole Proprietor,
    • LLC,
    • Corporation or
    • Partnership.
      After you decide and select your business entity, you need licensing.


    ✔ Biz License


    Baltimore Business Tax Registration ( Business License)
    All businesses including home, online or mobile BUSINESS need a BUSINESS license because they are BUSINESSES.


    ✔ DBA Biz Name

    A(n) Sell Various Products business using a fictitious business name in Anne Arundel County i.e. you are a business with a trade name other than the owner's legal (full name) name are required to get a(n) fictitious business name.   For instance you open a(n) Sell Various Products business and you name it "Superior Sell Various Products Group". You will need to file a fictitious business name for that name.
    ✔ Seller Permit

    In addition note that in MD you may also need a seller's permit if you sell merchandise that is taxable.  (A.K.A state id, wholesale, resale, reseller certificate, about $39 for most states).
    Seller's Permit

    ✔ Federal EIN


    Note: All businesses need a federal tax ID number except sole proprietors that are not employers and are not independent contractors.
    An independent contractor is a self employed business person that receives more than $600 per year from anyone of his or her clients.
    IRS rule: The client must issue a 1099 form to the independent contractor and the independent contractor must have a federal tax ID. However, even sole owners may obtain a federal ID and use it as a business tax ID instead of using their own social security number as a business tax ID number.
    However, all other licenses that apply to sole proprietors as discussed here are requited regardless of getting a federal tax ID number.

    ✔ State EIN

    In addition you will need a federal and a state EIN if you will hire employees. I.e., a MD Federal Tax Id Number ($29)  and a(n) MD  State Employer Tax Number  

    ✔ L L C

    Instead of filing a fictitious business name DBA Filing (about $49 plus state and legal newspaper publication fees) in Baltimore, Incorporate in MD  or form a(n) MD LLC     . 

    You have a choice to file a DBA or form an LLC or incorporate. There is a cicrcumstance that you may not need to register a trade name and that is when you use your full name as a business name if you use your full legal name as a trade name.
    Also note that even using your first and last name may not help you avoid filing a DBA if the name has a suffix such as "& sons" etc.

    ✔ Incorporation


    If you do form an Online Selling Stuff llc or incorporate (about $49 plus state fees for most states) your Sell Various Products business instead of just filing a fictitious business name (dba), it will help you avoid personal liability from wrongs arising from your business dealings and you will not have to file the Baltimore business name. Instead of just registering your Anne Arundel County assumed business name (our fee includes assumed business name registration and legal newspaper publication) you can choose to setup a corporation in MD or form an MD LLC (starts @ $49 plus state fee for most states & includes required documents such as bylaws for the corporation and Limited Liability operating agreement for the LLC). .
